My latest Anxiety

I'm with you ladies as well. I don't know what it is, but it always seems like I think of the worse. With this wedding and us planning everything, I've always had this thought that it's not going to happen because something bad is going to happen to me or him. Crazy but I've always been like that.

You can always try some CBT techniques. Ask yourself what is the evidence for the concern. If we look at plane crashes, the statistic for dying on an airplane is 1 in 10.46 million. Very small odds. This gives your logical brain some ammo. Next, try relaxation techniques such as yoga, deep breathing, or guided imagery. As you start to relax, pick a mantra, a word or phrase that calms you and makes you feel good. As you breathe deeply in through your nose, repeat this word to yourself for a count of three. Exhale through your mouth and repeat. You should calm down and with daily practice, you should be able to chase the negative thoughts away when they first enter your mind. Use your logic and then your relaxation.

good advice!

working for an airline, i'm CONSTANTLY thinking this! every time we take a day trip or something, or when our whole family goes somewhere together, i get freaked out thinking what if's. but really, odds are you have NOTHING to worry about, altho even knowing that doesnt help, at least it makes your brain know that.

and the week before our engagement pics i started freaking out worrying about what if doug or i get hurt playing soccer (every sunday) and we have an ugly cast or bruise or something in the pics? now that those have passed, i think about the wedding! he's a goalie, so everytime someone goes at him as he dives for a ball i freak out!
